Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) offer to take the newly-pardoned Jan.
6 rioters on a guided tour of the U.S. Capitol felt like a moot point for many critics.
Why? Because, commenters pointed out on social media, the people who President Donald Trump granted clemency to in one of his first acts on returning to the White House this week are pretty familiar with the seat of the U.S. Congress .
You know, from when they stormed it — after being incited by Trump — in 2021. One response to Boebert’s offer on X, formerly Twitter, has gone viral with more than 5.3 million views.
It simply read, “ Girl they already know their way around .” Meanwhile, Denver TV news anchor Kyle Clark — who has reported on Boebert for years, including on that moment at a “Beetlejuice” musical — addressed the congresswoman’s offer live on 9News when he read feedback from a viewer who’d asked, “Didn’t those criminals already get a tour of the Capitol?” Clark responded, “I suppose they did but it’s probably tough to really get an appreciation for the architecture and the history when you have to step over the body of the police officer you just assaulted.” Watch that clip here: FEEDBACK: A viewer questions Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) offering a Capitol tour to pardoned J6 rioters.
But I can see why. And see more snark on social media here: Lauren Boebert saying she will invite the insurrectionists for a personal tour of the Capitol. The same people who pissed and shit inside the Capitol.
I’m telling you right now they are either going to receive a Congressional Medal of Honor or a Medal of Freedom. Mark my words. MSNBC: Lauren Boebert is waiting for the J6 domestic terrorists, to give them a TOUR of the Capitol!UN-FVCKING-BELIEVABLE Apparently, Lauren Boebert (CO representative) has offered to give guided tours of the Capitol to the recently pardoned J6 “hostages”.
Didn’t they already have a tour on J6 2021? Donald Trump has reclaimed the most powerful seat in our nation's government.
